Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 113 Missing the Spring Festival Festival

The impact of "Counterattack" not only exceeded Zhang Yang's expectations, but also exceeded ATV's expectations.

At the end of the first episode, the program's high ratings reached 30.7%, and the average ratings reached 29.1%.

Although the ratings results were enough to make Mr. Qiu of ATV happy, what touched Zhang Yang more than this was the response the program received after it was broadcast.

According to the feedback from the program team, after the first episode of the program ended, calls from victims who had been waiting for it immediately started pouring in, making the customer service staff of the TV station almost dizzy.

People who couldn't get through on the phone even wrote handwritten letters, filling up the mailbox downstairs of the TV station. According to the TV station staff, they had to go downstairs to take out the mail almost every few hours. Otherwise, there would be no small mailbox, and there would be no way to fit so many letters.

Of course, as to how many of these calls and letters are from people who are really being bullied, and how many are fabricated stories to seek revenge, the people on the program team have to carefully screen them. This is what Zhang Yang has repeatedly said to the program team. Things to say.

After all, if the program "Counterattack" cannot select the real victims and bullies, it will definitely have explosive consequences. Not only ATV cannot afford this result, but Zhang Yang cannot afford it either.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhang Yang even borrowed the delicate A Jian from Chen Huimin, and asked him to screen the candidates after the program team, and then A Jian would conduct a private investigation. Only in this way, Zhang Yang's hanging question Only by letting go of your heart.

After the program received good feedback from the audience, the media with a keen sense of smell also seized on this trend.

However, compared with the previous praise, even Mingpao, which has a good relationship with Zhang Yang, has raised doubts this time.

Judging from their use of the title "Is it Right to Fight Violence with Violence?", we know the focus of their discussion.

However, Zhang Yang did not want to get involved in these media discussions.

If we have to decide whether it is correct to use violence to fight violence, it is definitely incorrect.

But the problem is that not everything that is correct in theory will actually be correct in practice.

Especially for those who are worried about being humiliated, what Zhang Yang wants to show them is not to beat up those who bully them and give them the pleasure of revenge, but to use this program to tell them that those they dare not resist Even those who seem to be aloof are also just mortal beings. They can also be defeated, and they can also be timid and cowardly.

As long as they can see through the true nature of these bullies, this is enough for Zhang Yang.

So while the controversy over the show "Counterattack" was still brewing, Zhang Yang had already shifted the focus of his work to "Slaying the Wolf", which ended filming in mid-to-late November and moved into post-production.

From late November until the Christmas season, there is only a short month left for post-editing of "Slaying the Wolf".

This is undoubtedly a very heavy job. During this period, in addition to assisting Chen Jiashang in editing, Zhang Yang also found time to go to the boxing gym to train. To be honest, as he spent more time in the entertainment industry, Zhang Yang’s training amount was really heavy. Not as good as before.

Fighting has always been a matter of how much effort you put in, and how much profit you get.

Although he has 40 years of knowledge ahead of him, Zhang Yang is convinced that as mixed martial arts continues to spread, if he still despises and treats him lightly, it will become a matter of course that he will be defeated one day.

Although with the blessing of many businesses from production, boxing gyms, to television stations, whether Zhang Yang is the strongest boxer in the world may no longer be that important, Zhang Yang still cannot relax his vigilance.

Seize all your free time and continue training to maintain your own level and make yourself competitive.

This may be due to the inertia of champions in previous lives.

Just one month passed quietly between home, production company, and boxing gym.

Although Zhang Manyu's assistant was not particularly reliable, to a certain extent, it relieved a lot of Zhang Yang's pressure.

At least her presence has really saved Zhang Yang a lot of energy on many trivial and messy things such as adding food to the house, keeping bank accounts, renting venues, applying for competitions, etc.And as Christmas approached, Zhang Yang finally took her to the Jiahe headquarters building for the first time with the edited negatives of "Slaying the Wolf" in his arms, and took her to see the real transformation in the film and television industry. The person whose hands are clouds and whose hands are covered with rain.

The three founders of Jiahe are Zou Wenhuai, He Guanshang and Liang Feng.

……

In the office of Jiahe headquarters.

Zhang Yang placed the negatives of "Slaying the Wolf" on the table and sat on the sofa calmly.

Zhang Manyu, who was usually lively, was standing behind Zhang Yang very quietly at the moment, not daring to look around.

There is no way, after all, the three people sitting opposite Zhang Yang at this moment have too much aura.

Looking at the negatives handed over by Zhang Yang, He Guanchang was relieved and smiling.

"Well done, Yangzi. You really didn't disappoint us. You really got it done before Christmas."

Ho Guan-chang paused and chuckled: "From the beginning of 82 to now, I have shot four films in a row. Yang Zi, you have worked really hard during this period. In this way, today, while the other two bosses are also here Here, I’ll give you a break and tell you to have a good New Year. I won’t be in a hurry to hand in the next script in March next year.”

Hearing He Guanchang's words, Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

What do you mean?
If I submit a new script in March next year, will I be kicked out of the Spring Festival schedule?

If he calculated correctly, the Spring Festival of 83 should be in mid-February. If the script is handed in now and work begins, it will take almost three months. Even if it does not catch up with the prime time of the Spring Festival, it can be scheduled to a week or so after the Spring Festival. Released on the Lantern Festival.

Putting aside whether they are willing to take the photo or not, there is absolutely no reason for them to be so eager to pass them.

Could it be that there is a big move?

Zhang Yang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized something.

I remembered!

During the Spring Festival of 83, wasn't that the day when Xu Ke's "The Legend of Shushan" was released!
No wonder, before he even had time to speak, He Guanshang took the lead in giving himself a holiday.

It can be seen that they are full of confidence in "The Legend of Shushan", so as not to go to the Spring Festival to compete with other people's box office!
That's right, Jiahe invested a total of 3000 million in the early stage of "The Legend of Shushan". This figure is already close to Jiahe's total revenue in the previous two years. There is indeed no film that is qualified for this film to compete for the Spring Festival slot.

After having a sense of proportion in his mind, Zhang Yang tapped his leg twice with his index finger.

If Yingyang Pictures is allowed to continue production and rush to produce a new film within three months to compete with "The Legend of Shushan" at the box office, it seems that it is not a mistake. However, Zhang Yang feels a little unwilling to be kicked out of the Spring Festival schedule so honestly. .

"You want me to take a vacation, that's fine, but I have two concerns. Can Mr. He help me solve them?"

Zhang Yang leaned back on the sofa and spoke slowly.

It would be too unfair to not take advantage of this opportunity.
